Frequently asked questions

What is Mitey?

A lightweight, fast, local, cross-platform API client (macOS, Windows & Linux) that idles in tens of megabytes — a Postman-style workspace for HTTP, auth, scripting, WebSocket, gRPC and MCP, built on a Rust core in an OS-native webview instead of Electron.

How does Mitey compare to Postman?

It covers the same day-to-day ground — requests, environments, collections, auth, scripting, and a runner — as a native app rather than an Electron one, so it idles in tens of megabytes instead of hundreds. It's local-first: no account, no cloud sync, no forced sign-in, and your workspace is git-friendly YAML on your own disk. Your Postman v2.1 collections and environments import directly, and pm.* scripts run as they are.

Do I need an account or an internet connection?

Neither. Mitey runs entirely on your machine — download it and start sending requests. There's no sign-in, no telemetry, and nothing phones home; the only network traffic is the requests you make and the update check.

Which platforms are supported?

macOS (universal — Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux (x86_64 — AppImage, .deb or .rpm). All are downloadable from the Download page.

Is it free?

Yes — the Community Edition is the full client, free for non-commercial use. Commercial use needs a paid Pro or Team licence; both include every feature, including team sync over git — see Pricing.

Can I use my own Pro licence at work?

Yes. Pro is a personal licence: as long as you paid for it yourself, you can use it for commercial work at any employer or client, as a full-time employee or contractor, whatever the company's size. If your employer pays for or reimburses it, they need Team seats.

Where is my data stored?

Everything stays on your machine. Workspaces are plain, git-friendly YAML files (one request per file), and credentials are encrypted at rest with a key held in your OS keychain — never stored in plaintext and never sent anywhere.

Can I import my Postman collections?

Yes — Mitey imports Postman v2.1 collections and environments, including auth, bodies, and scripts. You can also import from a cURL command.

Does it support OAuth 2.0, mTLS, gRPC, and MCP?

Yes. OAuth 2.0 (client-credentials and authorization-code + PKCE), mutual TLS with PEM or PKCS#12 client certificates, a WebSocket console, a dynamic gRPC client (server reflection or .proto files), and an MCP client (stdio or Streamable HTTP) for connecting to Model Context Protocol tool servers.

Is there an example workspace to try?

Yes — the support repo (github.com/TheImpostorApp/support) has a ready-to-open workspace covering every feature (HTTP, auth, TLS/mTLS, WebSocket, SSE, gRPC, MCP, and scripting), plus a one-command Docker mock backend the requests target. Clone it, open mock-workspace in Mitey, and start sending.

Is the macOS build notarized?

Yes — macOS builds are signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized, so they open without Gatekeeper warnings. Windows code-signing is rolling out. Linux has no equivalent OS signing, so the AppImage/.deb/.rpm are unsigned; in-app updates are still verified against Mitey's update signing key.
